Summary

KIPP Northeast Elementary is a public charter elementary school serving 477 students in grades PK-4 in Denver, Colorado. The school is part of School District No. 1, which is ranked 76 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Northeast Elementary faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 27.7% to 37.1%, well above the surrounding schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is also significantly lower than the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.7% of KIPP Northeast students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.9% for the district and 44.8% for the state. In math, only 24% of KIPP Northeast students were proficient or better, compared to 32.9% for the district and 35.9% for the state. The school's performance has declined over the past several years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking from 476 out of 965 Colorado elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 722 out of 950 in 2024-2025.

While KIPP Northeast Elementary is performing below the district and state averages, the nearby schools in the same district are also struggling academically. The surrounding schools, such as Lena Archuleta Elementary School, Green Valley Elementary School, and Marie L. Greenwood Academy, have similar low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the challenges facing KIPP Northeast Elementary are not unique and may require a more comprehensive, district-wide approach to address the underlying issues.
